Chainsaw Controller Coming to PS2

NubyTech plans to cut things up for PlayStation 2 gamers the same way it did with GameCube owners earlier this year with the release of the Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Controller for PlayStation 2.

The Chainsaw Controller is very similar to the GameCube variant though it has a few new features of its own. A newly added ripcord starts up the controller and emits the roar of a chainsaw when pulled. The display stand (featuring Leon) will contain a compartment for this detachable cord lest gamers lose it while decapitating a handful of zombies.

The PlayStation 2 version of the Chainsaw Controller also touts an interactive "stance" feature that changes the position of Leon's weapon in-game depending upon how the user holds the controller. If the player holds the controller up, Leon will do the same. Likewise, moving the Chainsaw Controller to a horizontal position will cause Leon to lower his weapon in-game.
